Default Help ID Differential

The differential in my 68 sb, 4 speed car was apparently replaced before I got it.
It's got heavy duty, bolt on axle yoke caps. The input yoke is 3 1/4" across.
The axle shaft yokes are 1.375" at the bearing
The number on the right front is 3899143-NF.
On the other side is CON 1 and K 370.
It seems to be a 3.08 ratio.
I'm replacing the axle yokes and want to make sure I get the right ones. I think later year HD yokes were different from the earlier year yokes.
Thanks

The yokes up to 79 will fit.They're all 17 spline, the only difference is the joint attachment- caps or U bolts. There should be no difference in price between them.
